The engravings here are from a series of 10 multiple block relief engravings currently in development. They explore the notion of a dog's sense of place, and of how mapping territory through routine dog walking builds an attachment to the places where we live both for the walker and their dogs. Message from Art On A Postcard: Please do not bid if you intend to sell on the artwork. All artworks have been generously donated by the artists to raise money for The Hepatitis C Trust and when work is sold on the secondary market, it damages our relationship with the artist and prevents us from fundraising
